Tips for making soft and chewy cookies:

Slow down. You want to keep your mixer on low speed. I know it can be tempting to speed things up but you do not want to heat the butter too much.

Try to use room temperature ingredients. For this recipe, specifically, you need to make sure that the butter and eggs are left out of the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.

Chill your dough. All of that mixing can cause the butter to spread. Giving the dough a little time to relax and firm up helps hold things together.

How to freeze M&M cookie dough:

Yes! This tip is probably one of my all-time favorites. We are a family of three, which means we wouldn’t be able to eat 24 cookies before they go bad.

Ok, so maybe we could eat them, but we shouldn’t.

SO I freeze the dough! My favorite method is to scoop and roll the dough into 1″ rounds. Place them onto a cookie tray and flash freeze for 20 minutes.

From there, I transfer them into a labeled freezer safe zip top bag. When we are ready to enjoy, I simply bake as directed in a preheated oven!
